The third book in Naomi Reed's award-winning trilogy, following on
from My Seventh Monsoon and No Ordinary View. 'In Nepal, whenever
the water ran out, or the electricity cuts were worse than normal,
or the monsoon seemed interminably long, or the motorbike stopped,
or the Maoists forced another strike, or my home-school patience
ran out, I would think about Australia. I would think about our
real home with hot water and electricity and cheese and lettuce and
chocolate and olives and friends ... where I would belong and be
understood and known and everything would be alright again. Then,
in the middle of 2006 we returned to Australia and it wasn't like
that at all. It wasn't immediately home and I didn't immediately
feel like I belonged or that I was understood or known. And I spent
years wondering why not, and getting confused by the answers.' This
is a book for anyone who has felt the pain of being in between
homes or jobs or countries or roles or relationships. It's about
our deep-seated human need to belong and enjoy purpose and
community. After their six years in Nepal, Naomi Reed and her
husband Darren and their three sons returned from Nepal to
Australia and struggled with identity and disorientation. In this,
Naomi's fifth book, she shares her story honestly and openly,
allowing the narrative to lead the reader into prayer and
reflection. By the end of it, you will feel a deeper and more
profound understanding of what it means to belong to God and hope
for heaven. 'Here is a book that will make you think again about
home which is after all closely tied up with our sense of identity
and belonging. This book stands alone but also completes the story
begun in the My Seventh Monsoon.' - Lilian Gill, reviewer
